I'm super happy with how it's going!

I was never able to let Dixie have her have freedom on our property.

She used to chase cars and run around in the mucky fields, but now, her recall is awesome.

The training has strengthened the bond with my Sascha.

I am 72 years old and my dog is a very large, powerful German Shepherd.

She could easily pull me off my feet. She is now a pleasure to walk - no more reactivity, or pulling. She sits, stands, lays down, stays, and comes when called!

My dog is so much happier!

My dog was very wary of strangers and dogs. We got the help we needed to turn his behavioural issues around with a huge difference showing after only a few sessions! I now enjoy walking him without worrying about what we might encounter.

Training has really helped us! Mozzie was very aggressive towards other dogs, which prevented me from taking him with me when I went out. Yesterday I took Mozzie to a family get together. We went to a little lake and my dad put his small boat out. There were other dogs about, and bikers and Mozzie behaved very well. I was able to help my dad with the boat and Mozzie did a down stay for the time I helped my dad. Mozzie got a boat ride that he really enjoyed (I was surprised by that). In the past I would have left Mozzie home for the afternoon, and it was so nice to be able to take him along. Red Rover Dog Training taught me how to manage my dog and taught my dog how to control himself. In addition to basic obedience, the trainers taught me how to use an e-collar to curb his aggression and teach him to control himself. It worked very well and now I hardly ever need to use the e-collar, but it gives me the confidence that I need to go out with my dog. Now my dog gets to enjoy many outings with me! I highly recommend Red Rover Dog Training! The trainers are very knowledgeable, patient, and flexible in their training.

The training was awesome! We just finished the 9 week Puppy Good Start Program with Peter. He explained things well and gave lots of hands on teaching with our puppy, Rocky. I am glad we went with the 9 week puppy course, which transitioned to the novice course. Doing it this way made it easy for Rocky to learn the new skills since he already learned the basics during the first part of training. It was a wonderful experience 😀 Our pup has a great base of learning that we can build on. The 9 week course was the way to go. I could see how all the parts fit together and built on the skills.

We signed our puppy up for training and soon realized that we needed the training as much as he did. We came to Red Rover Dog Training with our beautiful 3 1/2 month old Golden Retriever, Hudson. He was so darn cute but absolutely as mischievous and stubborn minded as they come! He pulled on the leash, peed in the house a lot of the time, jumped up and lightly bit everyone near him, barked at everything and was simply a very energetic, strong-willed and determined little puppy. The first two months were structured as what seemed to be the basics; sit, stay, heel, turning, etc. The steady progress of training taught both pup and human the proper basics of a happy relationship. More commands were introduced with close, personal training and then we advanced to the long line/off leash Recall training. At only 6 1/2 months old (and 60 lbs already) we are the proud family of a beautiful dog who walks happily beside us, pees outside, smiles politely at every dog and human who passes by, does not jump and bite at us, comes back when we call him, and can walk and run off-leash without having to worry about the stresses of every day life! He is so happy and well behaved and is a perfect member of our family. Sandra and Peter were amazing at understanding our level of learning. They were very kind and patient. It took a few repeats but we never gave up and then one day the light bulb turned on and we finally got it! We are so confident now that we can handle any situation and are grateful to Red Rover Dog Training for giving us this opportunity. We also know that we can always reach out to Sandra and Peter if we ever feel the need for more guidance. Be prepared, they really aren't training the dog, they're training you!!

My experience with Red Rover Dog Training was just the BEST! Sandra and/or Peter came to our home for puppy training. First lessons in the home are extremely important! I wanted to learn how to train and work with Lexi without distractions first. Eventually, we moved on to training in the neighbourhood and then to group training in Pinafore Park. Sandra and Peter know their stuff! No question is too small. They offer tons of encouragement and guidance to you and your dog. They work with you until you get it right! Lexi and I are two of their fans and highly recommend their training programs.

Oskar and I were some of Red Rover's first students. What a great journey it has been, strengthening that bond with my dog as we progressed through novice and intermediate courses. Sandra at Red Rover makes the courses comfortable for the dog and the human. This is extremely important since we, the humans, have just as much to learn about the dog training process as the dog! I love the variety of skills Sandra teaches in her courses. The skills make my dog a good citizen in the world he lives in. I also love the extra learning opportunities offered through Red Rover. We have participated in the dog body language seminar and the weekly walk series, both of which were very rewarding.
